Hi, I am trying to get to double click on my shortkeeper logo on my desktop to open it. When I press F1 it triggers my sound control instead of writing my screen coordinates (x, y). What can I do about it?

This AutoHotkey script quickly brings an existing WordPad file to the forefront of the desktop, allowing the user to type or read whatever they need and continue working where they left off with minimum disruption. Workflow does not suffer and concentration can be maintained.

A bonus feature of this script is that you do not need to think about whether the WordPad file is open or not. If the file is open, it will bring it to the forefront. The script will not open another copy of the same file (which could result in the loss of some information, if two concurrent versions of the file were edited at the same time).

Hi! I am looking to create a shortcut to login on websites. Let's say my username is Phil and my password is 27, how can I put it down in the insert text section to make it login to the website without even pressing enter?

Creating a shortcut to open a web page with ShortKeeper’s "Open web page" command is easy. The shortcut will open the web page with your default web browser. But what if you want to open the web page with a non-default web browser? AutoHotkey has you covered. Instead of using ShortKeeper’s "Open web page" command, use the "Run AutoHotkey code" command with your own AutoHotkey code.
